But the evidence builds. What I was referring to are the new outrages each day. I mean, there's no 'stabilization' with this guy. Reagan and the Bushes were terrible, but you knew what lines they wouldn't cross. Trump just doesn't have any compass at all, let alone a moral one.

On the old tall ships, the cannons were quite heavy, some weighing a ton or more. They were always very careful to batten them down really tightly in case of a storm, because if one got loose and rolled around the deck it could destroy all kinds of things and actually do irreparable damage to the ship, not to mention the carnage among crew members.

Trump is that loose cannon, careening across our polity and doing horrible damage to our institutions, our environment, our sense of trust - our whole social fabric.

He's like a fucking cancer cell spreading all over the place.
